The followring sections give you more detailed information on the individual points.
Setting the water softening system
Soft (low-iime) water is necessary for machine washing to avoid lime deposits on
crockery and in your dishwasher. Tap water with a hardness above 4 “d’ (German
degree) must therefore be softened for machine washing.
Forthis purpose, your dishwasher is fitted with a water softener. The water softener
is treated (regenerated) automaticaliy and at regular intervals with salt solution..
The salt consumption needed for regeneration thus depends on the local water
hardness. Your competent water company will provide you with information about
water hardness in your locality.
To ensure optimum regeneration of the water softener;
- the water softening system must be set to the local water hardness;
- the dishwasher salt container must ahways be filled with special salt.
